Treather Gassman, Martha's VineyardTreather Gassman, West Tisbury: Lots of potlucks and two-for-one nights. I also stayed busy with work ... lots of little art projects ... I knit a lot. I also fool around with my guitar, which I'm not very good at, but I practice. Click on photo to enlarge.
Sterling Bishop, Martha's VineyardSterling Bishop, Vineyard Haven: It's my second winter on-Island ... I found myself caught up in family. It was work trying to find family activities to keep everyone busy. We did an occasional dinner here and there ... a couple of movies. Most of the time, we just stayed in the house, and it gave us a chance to be more family orientated. Click on photo to enlarge.
